The recovery period for a rib fracture is usually three months. Ribs are elastic bone tissues, and after a rib fracture, a hematoma will be formed at the fracture end in the first 2 weeks and there will be severe pain. Usually, the hematoma will be gradually replaced by granulation tissue in 2-4 weeks and the pain will be reduced. 4-8 weeks, the fibrous bone scab will appear at the end of the fracture and gradually be replaced by bony bone scab, and the pain will disappear basically at this time. 8-12 weeks, the bony bone scab will gradually be replaced by the bone plate, that is, the rib fracture has healed. This means that the rib fracture has healed. Rib fracture is usually caused by car accidents, falling from a height, fall injuries caused by external injuries, such as traumatic chest pain should immediately seek medical examination to confirm the cause of the disease, to avoid physical labor leading to greater injuries, such as fractures, pneumothorax and other conditions.
